On this topic (which is about the "Choose a language" language that DrRacket starts in when newly installed), I think we should just delete all of this code, and start in "the Racket language".
How about make Run and other very language-specific DrRacket operations require a "#lang" line?
When the operation is invoked and there isn't a "#lang" line, pop up an explanatory dialog box that lets user click on button for desired language. Button inserts "#lang" at top of file before continuing with operation.
(I like this better than having a default "#lang" line, because you'll get people accepting the wrong default, different people with different defaults, etc.)
